Hi,everyone
Just retired and decided to get into Garden Railroading.
Bought a Bachmann 2662 Mallet and some skeleton cars,I`m fascinated by logging railroads.
That`s the theme I will pursue.
Now, just a question, how do I access the inside of the cab to detail it?
Does the roof come off like some other engines that I saw in the gallery,or do I have to take
the whole cab off?

By the way,great blog with lots of info.

The roof comes off (4 very tiny screws right below the roofline on the front and back wall of the cab) and the entire cab comes off as well (screws up through the floor of the cab). If you bought the loco used, you probably didn't get the exploded parts diagram that came with the loco originally, or if new, perhaps it was left out. That will show you all you need to know to disassemble the loco to whatever level you feel necessary. You can download them from this site by clicking on the "Parts, Service, & Information" tab above, then go to "manuals." Scroll down until you see the 2-6-6-2 drawings.

I've got one on my workbench at the moment as well undergoing some modification.

Later,

K

Thanks for the info, Kevin
I bought the engine new,but didn`t get any printed matter with it.
Will try the lead to down load the manual as suggested.

Cheers

Cool. Now, you have to post photos of the finished, detailed cab. :)
